Springsteel Area

[dragon81]

Any reports on springsteel area, Not exact locations but just wondering if we should head to that area on the west or move farther to the east and try it, thanks for any info.

[dragon81]

Somebody is afraid you will find thier honeyhole. Dragon we decided on Red for the weekend maybe next time Springsteel. Waiting to here your report see if we made the right decision.

[dragon81]

I will let you know MNFAN, good luck.

or, maybe fishing near springsteel sucks right now??? lol

[dragon81]

Yeah it may suck or its really good huh?? HAHA, I was being a smart A which maybe I shouldnt have but LOTwoods seems to be the hardest place to ask about on all of the forums. Of course I dont want specific info cuz thats is totally understandable. We fish there all winter but just havent made it up this year yet, so was wondering how things have been thats all. The other forums including the ones near my home seem to have much more willing members to help out locals as well as people comming from other areas. No biggie, I can catch a fish or two without any help but will respond with my report when I get back. Good luck everyone.

I have a friend thats looking to cme up and fish out of springsteel as well. i've been looking around both online and locally about any info about springsteel, and there just isn't much around.

that and I heard 5 mile just totally shut off as well. could be that time of year i guess.

Dragon. Please keep in mind, there are thousands of folks that fish all over LOW, but not many of them are found on Fishing Minnesota. There have been previous threads on the Springsteel area discussing fishing results, and road conditions. Look back thru some of the posts under Lake of the Woods. There are many pages you do not see without opening them.

Also, it's mid-day Wednesday. Most folks are at work, not on-line talking fishing. Much more attention is paid to the east side of the lake.

LOW has been kind of spotty all over due to almost constant weather fluctuation. Trust your fishing instincts, move around a little, and you'll find fish. LOW is a slam dunk for a winter meal of fresh walleyes and saugers. You can't catch em' with your computer!

all i know about five mile is that it looks very crowed for a small area....and springsteel the road isnt bad they had to plow around some wet areas and they are out to the southtip, i havent been out since sunday so it might have changed.....off road travel is so-so i was able to get around with a wheelhouse but there were alot of people stuck..where i set my house has 26inches of ice but 100 yards to the east it was 12inches(19-20ft)..the fishing was slow at best over the week-end, caught 15 and took home 9 for 3 people on sunday(4hrs of fishing)

[dragon81]

I agree guys, I was just in a smart A mood I guess. Hopefully we beat the storm up there and get some good fishing in, spend some money on bait, beer and food, and have a good time in our new fish house. THANKS

friends of mine were up last wknd and did very well at the south tip. I know its not much info but hope that helps. I havn't been up there yet this yr.

We just returned home from a Sunday evening through Tuesday sleeper trip with Bob's Ice Fishing and we were able to fry fish for supper and bring home a 4 man limit of 16 walleyes and 16 sauger. 20 ft of water among the crowd.

[dragon81]

Fished fairly close to south tip, 20 feet of water. First two days were pretty good, sunday was slow. Stop sign seemed to be the ticket with the most fish. Bobber fishing just off the bottom worked better then jigging this trip which is unusual for us. All fish were nice in the 17-19 range. NOT BAD over all.
